means, to begin the walling in this month, which is 

 so soon after the hiring time, Michaelmas, and con- 

 tinue the work all winter. 



DIG MANURES. 



All this month the carts should be employed in car- 

 rying marie, chalk, clay, or ditch-earth, upon soila 

 that are light enough to admit carting on through 

 winter. 



CUT ANT-HILLS. 



This is the proper season for destroying ant-hills. 

 Many ploughs have been invented for cutting them 

 off level with the surface of the field, ready to be 

 carted away ; and if that is the way you take with 

 them, such machines are of great use ; for they will 

 certainly do the work of many men. 



MADDER. 



Look well to the land deep ploughed in the pre- 

 ceding month for madder, to observe if it lays per- 

 fectly dry : if the water hangs at all in the furrows, or 

 the water-furrows, let them be immediately cleansed, 

 so as to run off without the least obstruction ; for it 

 is very pernicious to any land to be soaking in stag- 

 nant water : instead of receiving benefit by autumnal 

 tillage, it is much injured. 



PEASE. 



Upon dry soils, that plough well in winter, the end 

 of this month is a good time to sow the hardy hog- 

 pea, which will remain uninjured by frosts, and be 

 much earlier in the following year, than those sown 

 in the spring. 



SHEEP.
